HMM- Based Synthesis

HMM- based Synthesis HMM: Hidden Markov model An introduction to HMM-based speech Synthesis by Junichi Yamagishi

Blizzard Data The speaker is known as ‘Nancy’ and is a native speaker of US English, professional female voice talent, voice coach, and singer hours of data was made available Unit Selection Voice: HMM-based Voice: Unit Selection Voice: Hi, I am Jacky, welcome to my presentation. Hi, Jacky again, welcome to my presentation.
